Erin Siddall is a visual artist practicing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Most predominantly focussed in photography, it has been seen that Siddall’s work aims to implicate the audience in their process of viewing rather than the subject or object which they view. Siddall’s photographic practice focuses on examining the difficulty of portraying that which is not portrayable. Currently, the artist investigates the history of nuclear energy.[1]

For Proving Ground, Vancouver, Nevada, Uranium dishes were photographed near the Mercury Test Site in Nevada at old protest locations, and others were photographed in her Vancouver studio with fluorescent lights (when radioactivity is revealed).[5] In Doomsday Counter, the artist warped these dishes with heat, and arranged them in a circle as seen in the photographs.[6]
